CRAIG — Next week, registered voters will begin receiving their ballots in the mail for the 2018 general election.

At the top of the ballot, Moffat County voters will help choose Colorado’s District 3 representative to the U.S. House of Representatives and the state’s next governor. At the bottom, Moffat County voters will decide if the Museum of Northwest Colorado and Moffat County Libraries will receive funding via a new mill levy and consider redistricting representation for the Moffat County School District Board of Education.

The only contested race in Moffat County is for the office of coroner and will pit Democratic candidate Alec Brown against Republican Jesse Arthurs, who defeated incumbent Coroner Kirk McKey in June’s primary.

A sample ballot is available at the Voter Service and Polling Center in the Moffat County Clerk and Recorder's Office, 221 W. Victory Way, Suite 200.
